This file, the 1990 counterpart to the CENSUS OF POPULATION,
1980 [UNITED STATES]: EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY SPECIAL FILE (ICPSR
9026), is based on civilian labor force data from the 1990 Decennial
Census and provides occupational and educational attainment data to
support affirmative action planning for equal employment opportunity.
The file consists of two sets of crosstabulations for the United States
civilian labor force. The first set of tables provides data for 512
occupational categories by sex, race, and Hispanic origin. The second
set presents educational attainment data for seven age groups by sex,
race, and Hispanic origin. Both sets of tables are summarized
geographically for the United States, all states and the District of
Columbia, all counties and statistically equivalent entities, all
Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical
Areas, and Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas, all places with
populations of 50,000 or more, and all minor civil divisions with
populations of 50,000 or more in 12 states.
